SAFER seminar: Protecting Occupants of all Ages, Shapes and Sizes
We welcome you all to a SAFER Seminar by Dr. John Bolte, The Ohio State University College of Medicine, who is visiting SAFER on May 3.
The Injury Biomechanics Research Center (IBRC) at The Ohio State University is a multi-disciplinary research center dedicated to investigating the relationships between human injury and physical mechanical properties. The IBRC has completed research in the field of automobile safety for the last 15 years. The IBRC brings together an interdisciplinary team of engineers, anatomists, anthropologists, physicians, computer modelers and technicians, who focus on both mechanisms of injury and injury thresholds of the human body. This diverse group of researchers allows for a unique prospective on how best to protect all occupants. Research conducted in the IBRC has focused on all aspects of the body and has spanned the entire age range from pediatric to elderly. This presentation will review a number of projects completed in the IBRC including: elderly side impact, rear impact and a number of pediatric focused studies.
The seminar is open for all who are interested!
